If you like Dungeon Crawlers and Western games, this is for you. It's fun, challenging and has a nice little story while you blast the undead. My only critique is how janky the controls can be sometimes. It'll be finnicky on when it lets you dodge, slide in and out of cover, or just the movement while in combat alone can "stutter". If the movement was smoother it'd be a 5/5, but it's still definitely a 4.5/5 in my book.

Although this game is getting a positive rating out of me, I do still have some complaints about it. 1. The game is still littered with bugs. Including some run-ending bugs that are really frustrating to run into. 2. The game has been abandoned by the developer, meaning these bugs are unlikely to be fixed. 3. There is some level of jank to the game, specifically around movement and interaction(s) Now for the positives, the game has a pretty compelling art style similar to a Hellboy comic and the story although not perfect, is serviceable. And its got some pretty good ideas in terms of world building and content.

The combat is very simple but the different timings with the weapons add a little spice to the mix, making each run feel stylistically different. Sometimes you get just the equipment for a run n' gun, other times its more like a hunker down and dodge everything in a well timed manner type of run. The western style is fully utilized here and feels excellent to be in. if you're a fan of westerns and roguelikes then this is the one for you.

The game is nice, but it is quite slow, especially during transitions, story and conversations. Also controls can be quite uncomfortable and misleading as character tends to stick to obstacles and hideouts in a very extreme and dangerous moments that influences gameplay and control of the moment. In result death and restart. I am playing with the use of gamepad.
